Baja

I just got back from a 2 week camping road-trip in southern Baja California, Mexico. It was breathtaking, exhausting, warm, cut-off, and many other things. I only got online for 15 minutes once to make sure the world was still there, but otherwise had no time. Covering about almost 1,000 miles, much of it off-road takes some serious time - despite the fact that Baja's dirt roads are like superhighways (for the most part) compared to Armenia's. That is probably in great part due to the extremely dry climate there that does not wash out the dirt and erode the road, but the government was obviously very serious about maintaining both the paved and dirt roads which get smoothed by tractors. So many comparisons it's impossible to get into them. I landed in Cabo and left the next morning - getting back on my last night and flying back. So although I tried at 4:50pm my last night to meet Mike, the only Armenian in Cabo, the scuba shop was closed. Eh, next time. So now I am left sorting out my actual mail from spam - over 1,000 emails to sort through, find out what happened in the world while I was gone, and post some pictures eventually on flickr...

As they say in Armenia, gamats gamats. Tonight I'm checking out the Mission District in San Francisco. It's nice to be clean, online, connected and comfortable again!
